Chapter 19 The character of the profiteer
Everyone stayed up all night in panic and sorrow. At dawn, the sun shone on the dilapidated camp, and the smell of burning corpses was still in the air.

Old Shen was about to take Xiao Anzi to collect the corpses of the people, but he saw Deacon Mu walking over with Master Pu Shan with a hostile expression on his face.

Li Qingniu was still in a deep sleep. Seeing this, Li Laoer knew that Deacon Mu might not be a good person, so he covered Li Qingniu with a quilt and got out of the carriage.

Deacon Mu came to him and grabbed Li Lao Er by the collar.

"Look, you bastard, this is all caused by you! I lost so many manpower for nothing!"

Li Er Er broke away and retorted: "Deacon Mu, why did you say that?"

Deacon Mu looked angrily at Li Laoer and said firmly, "If it wasn't for your Qinggang Shenmu! I wouldn't have provoked these monsters!"

"Deacon Mu really thinks highly of Li! I have been here for decades, and I have never seen any monsters come to snatch it. If there are so many masters like you, you still can't keep it, let alone me. Ordinary mountain people?"

After all, Li Er Er also stared at Deacon Mu stubbornly.Deacon Mu was already in the wrong, but after listening to Li's second rebuttal, he threatened.

"Anyway, it started because of you. Now that the Shenmu has been lost, the agreement between you and me should also be terminated. Get out of here!"

Li Laoer replied solemnly: "Mu Deacon, you are also from the gods, and you are more reasonable than us mountain people. Gods can buy eggs like this, smash them on the way home, and return them to the house." Do you want to find a reason to pay back the money from the egg seller?"

Deacon Mu was so stunned that he was speechless, and turned his head to take orders from Old Shen.

"Go and throw them down!"

Unexpectedly, Lao Shen ignored Deacon Mu and instead glanced at Deacon Mu. Just as he was about to speak, the captain of the guard Luo Wushuang also came over and looked at Deacon Mu indifferently.

"Among us, Divine Warriors are the most faithful!"

Deacon Mu saw that he couldn't do anything, so he sneered and ridiculed.

"Then since you are so loyal and promised to protect my caravan, but now you have caused me to lose a treasure! So what?"

"Since we promised to help you escort the caravan back and forth from the county, we must use our lives to fulfill the contract. Now, out of ten of my brothers, eight died because of your errands. Isn't it fulfilling the contract? Besides , the contract you signed with me was to escort the spices, but you didn't say that there is any Qinggang Shenmu!"

After speaking, Luo Wushuang looked at Deacon Mu with an unfriendly expression.Li Laosan heard the captain talk about the contract, just then remembered, eagerly took out the contract from his arms, and looked at Deacon Mu.

"Deacon Mu, you and I have a blood contract, have you thought about the consequences of breaking the contract?"

Deacon Mu was told by the captain of the guard that he felt that it would be dangerous to blame him at this moment, and that he had to rely on him for his safety when he returned to the county seat. Seeing that Li Laoer took out the contract, he did not dare to assume the cause and effect of breaching the contract.I had to say bitterly.

"Since this is the case, then I, Mu, am not a person who does not keep the contract. You two can continue to go to the county with me, and I will also arrange for your nephew to enter school as promised!"

Looking at Luo Wushuang and Lao Shen again: "Then you two must also abide by the contract, and protect me to return to God's Capital safely!"

Hearing this, Luo Wushuang, Lao Shen and Li Laoer understood that they were indeed profiteers.It was clear that he was afraid that the guard would suffer heavy losses this time, so he didn't want to escort him anymore, but he came to talk about Li's second son, forcing Luo Wushuang and Lao Shen to fulfill the contract!

Luo Wushuang didn't intend to tear up the contract, and Lao Shen also wanted to protect Li Qingniu to study, so he had no choice but to agree!
At this time, Luo Wushuang looked at Youngest Li and Deacon Mu seriously.

"Deacon Mu, Brother Li, since I promised to continue escorting you, I have to tell you frankly, what is the Qinggang Shenshu that the monsters came to snatch? Otherwise, when those monsters return, I will not make a move again. "

Li Laosan quickly replied: "Captain, it's the first time I've even heard of that thing called Qinggang Shenmu. I don't know why I provoke demons. That piece of wood was just a few decades ago. I just found it strange." So I stayed by my side. When I heard that Deacon Mu was a businessman from Shendu, I thought of giving it to him for appraisal. Just when I wanted to send my nephew to the county town, and this thing was useless to me, I took it In exchange with Deacon Mu."

Deacon Mu was also confident and snorted coldly.

"I'm sorry you don't know what this is in this small place. To tell you the truth, Captain, I also heard about this Qinggang Shenmu by chance when I set off from Shendu. I just know it's a priceless treasure."

Luo Wushuang obviously didn't believe it, and asked: "If you don't know, how dare you confirm that this is the Qinggang Shenmu?"

"Although I heard it by accident, the person who told me about the Qinggang Shenmu described the appearance of the Qinggang Shenmu to me. I was not sure when I saw it before, but now I am finally sure!"

Deacon Mu thought, although this sacred tree is valuable, this clue is also valuable.

Li Laoer questioned whether this person knew the people who hired my two brothers to transport wood back then.

"Deacon Mu, you said you were not sure, how could you agree to such a condition?"

Deacon Mu replied with a bit of disdain: "For me, it's just a few people to give you a ride. As for introducing you to school, it's just a matter of one sentence! But it's possible to get a priceless treasure, so why not do it! It's a pity, pity, The baby is gone, and I almost took my own life!"

Old Shen was a little angry when he saw his face.

"Don't forget, the lives of our eight brothers are also involved!"

Deacon Mu replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Shen Wei, according to the contract, you will not be less than a penny. As long as you escort me back to the county seat safely, I will pay more!"

Old Shen heard that in the eyes of these businessmen, his own life was nothing more than a commodity that could be bought with money.Although he was not angry in his heart, he was also helpless, who made him have no money, no power, and a humble background!
If he is rich, how can he stop at the third rank with his talent? If he is powerful, with his status as a third rank warrior, he can at least be a partial general in the government offices of various counties.Why is it that he is now nearly fifty and earns a living as a bodyguard!

Li Lao Er thought to himself, in the eyes of these people, this kind of unattainable thing is just a matter of convenience.well!Ancestor, why did you leave the capital of God and come to such a dilapidated place? Look at how dilapidated your descendants are!After sighing, he couldn't help but wonder, it seems that this Qinggang Shenmu has something to do with the forces in Shendu, and I don't know if it will cause trouble.

Deacon Mu and the captain naturally didn't know the sighs and worries in the hearts of Lao Shen and Li Laoer.Discussed the next itinerary.Right now, only Deacon Mu, the maid, the old master, Luo Wushuang, Lao Shen, Xiao Anzi, Li Lao Er, and Li Qingniu remained in the convoy of more than 20 people.

After several discussions, the convoy can't leave for the time being. The monster got the treasure and ran away in panic. It is estimated that it will not come again for the time being.So I decided to stay here for a few days, treat other caravans, and then make plans.
